Modernization of the e-government in Estonia

Participation in the knowledge-based society presumes access to the internet and ICT-based services. As a result of the early liberalization of the telecommunications market and intense competition, Estonia has a well-developed communications network: all central and local government agencies, public libraries as well as educational and health institutions have an internet connection, as do 90% of Estonian enterprises. Approximately 90% of the Estonian population lives in areas with immediate availability of broadband internet. We discuss about Modernization of the e-Government in Estonia which includes: large penetration on broadband internet in Estonia, developing environments for implementation e-Government services and developing e-solutions for very different public sector activities like eNotary, eProcurement, e-Invoicing etc.
